Stefan,

   I used to run the svn trunk version along with the stable version but
finally dropped the latter. Running the latest release code I've found a few
bugs or inconsistencies and the developers have quickly applied patches.
Sometimes within the hour. While I'm not using all modules or different data
types when I do find something that needs fixing I make the developers aware
of the problem so others don't encounter it.

Regards,

Rich
